Eclectic downtown restaurant from famed Chef Paul Luna quietly closes.
Lunacy Black Market (LBM) has closed up shop downtown.
The eclectic restaurant owned and operated by husband and wife team Paul and Cynthia T. Luna went dark sometime last week, Creative Loafing (CL) first reported.
The restaurant’s windows are covered from top to bottom with newspapers and a “for rent” sign adorns the space.
Our hearts are broken.
We loved LBM and the team behind it. It was our go-to spot for inexpensive yet delicious food in a space that felt like the Luna’s living room. We even put LBM on our “Top Five Atlanta Restaurants To Visit Before You Die.”
Truly a loss for our city.
What Now Atlanta (WNA) made several attempts to reach the Luna family for comment (every phone number has been disconnected and every email we sent bounced back).
According to CL, Chef Luna moved to Switzerland late last year to be with his wife, leaving the restaurant in the care of his management team.

R.I.P., LBM!
